On a very serious note, I can only guess why today's rerun made me cry.
The plot had Blair running against "Cynthia" for student body president. Cynthia wins and of course Blair is a sore loser. BUT later in the episode Tootie finds Cynthia passed out in her room having taking a bottle of pills. They rush her to the hospital, but she dies. The kids find out later that it might have been because her parents were getting a divorce.
Ok, so why was I crying? Because I suffer from depression, and it got really bad when my mom had health problems and you cant help but second guess yourself and blame yourself for every tiny thing.
Point is, mental illness affects everyone from every class and it is extremely important for those around that person to see the signs and and listen without judging. I can say that I got through my mom's health issues AND her death, because I had lots of support.
Just like Kurt Kobain, you cannot judge someone by their "success" in fame. Junior Seau former San Diego Charger too.
The stigma of mental health needs to be stripped and gone.
